2. In a clutch of the character described, braking means associated with a gear casing having 'a driven shaft therein, a wedge lever adapted to actuate said braking means, .a two-part clutch between said casing and said driven shaft, and a hand lever connected to said Wedge lever and to one part of said clutch adaptedto'engage isaid clutch Ytc couple said casing to said driven shaft, and at the Vsame time disengage Vsaid 'braking 3.
